[quote=Anonymous]All strokes have the same mechanic of pushing the water. Stand with your back to the wall, arms in cactus arms palms facing away. Then from your shoulders flip your cactus arms down while maintaining the 90 degree angle at your elbows and your palms are now facing the wall behind you. For free, fly, and back you’ll always push the water away at your hips. Breast obviously keeps that pull in front of your chest. A good drill for the straight arm phase of back is to practice deliberately bringing your hand out of the water thumb up, rotate to pinky entering the water first. Then bring your arm back to that cactus (palm up) and push the water to your hip (palm down). You’ll also need to practice the idea of rolling your torso side to side. [/quote]
